I’m sure there tons of post about it but I just made my own… ordered a rolling/folding shopping basket that holds 55lbs off eBay for $25… took the wheels off and added a bucket organizer for $20… it’s slightly bigger then fiberglass ones… I have to add shoulder straps but I am loving that I can zip tie tool holders to the basket instead of drilling holes into a brand new fiberglass or wood one! Just thought I’d share!

Looks good but you do know that anything you want to use will be at the very bottom of that pack basket.

I like the thought you put into that rig sometimes my remake bag aggregates my elbows that would be handy when the sole ground forces me to walk the entire line.


The wife bought us some Sketcher slip on shoes they came in a cheap nylon bag with shoulder straps I’ve been using that to haul zip lock bags of waxed dirt/pan covers up and down the cat creeks here. I put a carabiner on and clip the straps at chest level to keep it in place won’t last long but it’s working for now.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Looks good Billkil. Did you buy straps or take them off something. I was looking for a pair of cheap straps with a quick clip

My ocd has me setup perfect! Until the second set then I just chuck everything in the bottom of the basket Lmao! Really messy after it gets cold out and my hands hurt! But I like to organize at end of season so I can see what supplies I have to stock up on!
